Favs Whole Juices and Smoothies

Our body is very intelligent. Any kind of discomfort or pain is its way of telling us that something is not right. Its like a software program always running in debug mode. We just need to feel and observe.

One of the most useful weight-loss tips I have always used and highly recommend is to shock the body once a week by eating whatever we want without counting calories. This 'whatever' is always from the school of fast foods and sugar high foods. For me, one day of the weekend is usually the 'eat whatever' day. I have realized that the next day my body on its own tells me that it is craving for healthy nutrient rich foods..the REAL food.

Whole fruit and vegetable juices are the quickest and most refreshing treats for the body under such requirements. Also, i prefer to have have my whole juices at room temperature. Foods at room temperature are easily digested by the body as compared to cold foods. 

Here are some of my favs whole juice recipes. And much thanks to Vitamix for making them beautifully in seconds.
